The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Fred, George: ? !

It was the first time they were given the adjective naive.

"Hey, George, someone called us naive." Fred winked at his brother.

"Fred, we should make a note of today and write on our tombstones 'September 1, 1994, Tom Yodell once said we were both naive'."

The two laughed together.

Tom quietly watched them perform. Soon, under Tom's caring eyes for mentally handicapped children, Fred and George couldn't smile.

"So Yodel, what exactly do you want to express?"

Tom sighed and said quietly: "So you two think that Dumbledore's 'fair referee' will be a living person, right?"

Fred and George frowned. They really hadn't considered this issue. Now that I think about it, the referee is not necessarily a human being.

"Wouldn't it be better to be deceived if it wasn't human? Don't forget that we have age-enhancing agents—"

"I mean Dumbledore can fundamentally prevent students under the age of seventeen from participating, he only needs to make a list!" Tom interrupted Fred's fantasy.

Yes, no magic, any referee, no need. As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore has plenty of time to collect the dates of birth of students, and then directly prohibit students under the age of 17 from enrolling at Hogwarts.

Take Fred as an example. If he made his biological age reach seventeen by some means, he successfully broke through the first line of age detection. After he reported his name, it would trigger the detection mechanism left by Dumbledore. Finally, after testing, it was found that the applicant Fred Weasley was on the blacklist, and his registration would be automatically disqualified.

This should be the double means left by Dumbledore. The first is to screen out Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students, and the second is to kill the naughty Hogwarts. If you want to bypass these two lines of defense, you can only look for bugs, such as telling the Goblet of Fire that the rules have changed this time, there are four schools, and only one person has signed up for the fourth school...

After listening to Tom's explanation, Fred came to a realization, and then said sadly that Dumbledore was cheating!

He disqualified Fred and George in the simplest and most unpretentious way possible.

"It's so unmagical!" George said angrily. In his opinion, Dumbledore has broken the tacit understanding between them and used unrespectable means.

"Wait, that's still a flaw, Dumbledore knows we're not old enough, but he doesn't have the right to decide, doesn't he? According to Dumbledore, the referee seems to only choose the most suitable person among the applicants. , so in fact Dumbledore can only prevent us from signing up - in this case, whether the referee is a real person or not, we have a way to take advantage of the loopholes, and the two of us are masters of taking advantage of loopholes." Fred still refused to give up.

"For example, the blacklist you mentioned, George and I can briefly change our names to 'Weatherley' or something." George quickly came up with a countermeasure.

Seeing that Fred and George were determined to participate in the competition, Tom couldn't say anything, so he could only let them play tricks.

"I don't understand why you have to sign up for such a dangerous competition. Didn't you hear what Dumbledore said? Many people died in the competition." Hermione was very worried.

"Indeed, but he also said he'll be ready this year. Besides, there's always a little bit of adventure in life, and George and I sneaked into the Forbidden Forest when we were first grade—say, Tom, if you have a chance Sign up, will you attend?" Fred said nonchalantly.

When Hermione heard this, she glanced at the carefree Fred. For some reason, seeing that the two of them didn't look right, Hermione was angry, like Professor McGonagall possessed.

So she decided to add to the blockage for the twins.

"If Tom and Harry can sign up, why do you think the referee will choose someone other than them?"

Fred: !

He thought about it carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Hermione said. Instead of him being the referee, he also chose Tom to be the warrior.

Fred and George sighed, and Hermione's words almost dissuaded them from competing.

"Seriously, the chances of you becoming warriors are not high, but with some preparations in advance, it's not difficult to get some benefits in the selection process."

Fred's ears pricked up at Tom's words. Fred wanted to become a warrior because he saw the warrior's super high authority and the bonus of one thousand Galleons after winning the championship.

Now there is an opportunity to make money, of course he will not let it go.

"Think about it, everyone seems to be very interested in who can become a warrior, so why don't you take the opportunity to open the market? Just bet on who can become a warrior at Hogwarts, and the two of you will take a cut."

Tom didn't dare to mention the odds, because he was worried that Fred and George were not mathematical enough to play such complicated operations, and it would be bad if they ended up like Bagman.

"The key point is in the back. When the warriors are born, you can immediately make a batch of warriors' peripherals and sell them. For example, badges with the warrior's name and the words "refueling", fireworks that can spell out the warrior's name... Also, before the The blind box can be put on the agenda." Tom talked eloquently, and gave Fred and George a lot of money-making tricks. Hearing the two nodded again and again, they wished to follow Tom back to the Ravenclaw Tower~www.wuxiamtl. com~ After separating from the two, Hermione shook her head, she always felt that it was not the right way for students to be too addicted to business behavior.

"Will you sign up? If the two of them really found a loophole?" She frowned and stared at Tom, secretly determined that if Tom really planned to sign up, she would go talk to Professor Flitwick.

Tom shook his head, he didn't plan to be a warrior, because according to his arrangement, he could play a more interesting role...

After answering the knocker's question correctly, the wooden door at the entrance of the lounge swung open, revealing the familiar and warm Ravenclaw common room. At this time, it was windy and rainy outside, and the rain beat on the windows of the tower, making the lounge even warmer.

Hermione and Tom said goodbye and went to the girls' dormitory alone. Tom followed the stairs to his bedroom.

In the bedroom, six four-poster beds were arranged against the wall, with blue drapery hanging from them. Everyone's suitcases have been placed at the foot of their respective beds, looking very neat. Perhaps chatting with Fred took too much time. Tom's roommates had already climbed onto their beds and drew the curtains to rest. Tom didn't say much, and quietly climbed into his own bed to rest. At this time, he found that the system that he had not paid attention to for a long time seemed to have a new movement with the beginning of the new semester.
